How to get started with film photography. Simple steps for beginners.

When you give your film to a lab to process, you need to provide the following instructions “develop only,” “develop and scan,” “develop and print,” or develop, scan, and print.”

Printing per roll is not as common a practice as it used to be, but you can usually choose to get a small print for every image on the roll of film. Old, expired film can sometimes be cheaper to purchase than fresh, new film. It will usually still produce images but can result in weird colors and unexpected exposures. Some film photographers enjoy experimenting with the unique looks that can result from expired film. Experienced photographers often rate and develop their film differently than the ISO noted on the package. But I don’t advise doing either of these when you’re still learning the basics.

There’s room for everyone in the film photography community, of course, and expertise in these ancillary fields is fantastic. For example, I develop my own film but have only used a handful of developers. Photographers who experiment are so much more knowledgeable than I am in this regard and help me with questions all the time. And it’s really cool to learn the history behind our cameras from the collectors.
